Anxiety in the face of shifting headlines isn’t irrational—it often mirrors how state-controlled markets actually behave: lower returns, higher volatility, and a wobblier ride. The lesson isn’t to avoid these markets entirely, but to recognize their place in a diversified portfolio while resisting the urge to overreact when headlines spark fear. By slowing down, noticing which parts of us are panicking, and grounding our decisions in a clear investment policy, we can lead our worries instead of letting them lead us.
